Auliffe got in number of vicious blows, and
frequently went down to avoid punishment
Notwithstanding all this, at the end of the
forty sixth round Carney was apparently
considerably stronger than McAuhffe, who
braced up and went in to win, but didn't, as
Carney was full of fight. Still, in the rounds
from the fiftieth to the fifty-fifth, McAuliffe
seemed to have slightly the best Of it
In the fifty-fifth McAuliffe led and Carney
came after him with pair OF crushing blows.
The first symptoms of a row to win were
shown in the sixty -eighth round. The men
fell from weakness together and the McAu-
life people, who had appealed as vainiy to
upright Stevenson for fouls as the Carney
people, had swarmed into the square. They
claimed that Carney had butted their man in
the stomach, and it was very difficult to get
them out Mac wanted to quit badly in the
next round, when Carney, who forced him
through the ropes in his own corner, banged
him in the stomach. He claimed foul, say
| ing that Carney hit him below the belt The
referee refused to allow it, and ordered the
men to fight on, Mac getting a rest in his
chair while Carney struggled with the crowd
in the center of the ring.
| In the seventy first, seventy second and
seventy third rounds it was plain case of
twin, tie or wrangle" on the part of the
McAulifre party. McAuliffe was a gone
man, and he wanted his friends to give in
| for him, for Carney knocked him down re-
peatedly, and chased him all around the
ring Carney knocked down the post on
which the ropes were strung around McAu-
liffe's corner of the ring, and fell on top OF
the Brooklyn boy as he knocked him through
the ropes with terrible body blows. The
owner of the stable, who had once before
asked for order, then put stop to the battle.
The referee refused to give a decision, and
said it must be decided one way or the other.
He will order the men together probably
this week McAuliffe who was as weak a:
kitten in the last few rounds and claimed
that Carney had injured the groin which
gave him trouble few weeks ago ran likt
deer to his room in the hotel as soon as HI
knew he wouldn't have to face Carney any
longer The fight lasted just hours and 5:
minutes.

How Governor Bob" Stewart Got Ever

How Governor Bob" Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, gentleman of high social
and official standing in st. Joseph, tells q
story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction:
81 was coming up the Missouri river when
was boy,n said the ex-governor, land l
was working my way on steamboat. At a
point where we had to wood up | didn't carry
as big a load as some OF the roustabouts, nor
move with that agility that the others did,
for was not strong, and had been tenderly
raised The mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang plank, and he
gave me kick and sent ME ashore and con-
fiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my
passage to that point. | never saw that mate
again until | had been inaugurated as gov
ernor of this great commonwealth OF Mis-
souri,.
Zone day, wandering through the wards
and districts of the penitentiary, saw that
mate working at forge He had been sent
there for killing, in q passion, a man under
his command. | knew him instantly, and |
directed the warden to send the man to the
gubernatorial mansion in the garb of a gen.
tleman. When the man arrived l took him
into my private office and asked him if be
recognized me. He replied that he did not.
Said |: DO you remember one time, and at
such and such place, of kicking boy and
sending him ashore who had been working in
your gangf
1.-THE man said: NO, don't remember it
but it is very likely that did it.
"'Well, says |, 4 am that boy and here is
your pardon. always thought would get
even with you
.'The tears came to the old mans eyes, and
he said: We'll, governor, to be mate in
those days man bad T.. be dog
"'You played well your part I said
Now, leave here, and don't let me see you
again
"As he made his exit gave him an able
bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart had got
even with that big steamboat mate.

THE rush to California still CONTINUES.
Over 2, 900 people passed through Santa
Fe during the last ten days, bound Tor
the Golden state. Letters from there say
every hotel and boarding house is full
and that the prices of the necessaries OF
life are up at famine rate When this
craze abates, another one will start up.
Two years ago everybody was crazy on
Florida and Florida orange farms sold
at.extravagant prices Now Floria real

cause. Windows were broken and light

quickly found that there had been an explo-
sion of the buildings of the Hancock Chem

Examination revealed that the packing
house where dynamite WAS put in packages
or sticks had entirely disappeared, and where
it stood few moments before was only a
yawning pit ten to fifteen feet deep and OF
larger size than the building that stood on it.

THE FlShsRMAN's COMPLAINT.


Home and Abroad.
New York, Nov 1.-THE National FISH
cry association met here Wednesday in the
United States hotel. 1t is the first annual
meeting of the association, and representa-
tives from all over the country are present.
The object of the gathering is to adopt means
for tbs proper representation of the fishery
interests of the United States in all matters
pertaining to national and state legislation.
President Bahson called the meeting to order
and delivered a lengthy address upon the
wrongs suffered by the American
fishermen. He claimed that fishermen in the
United States had no protection, while in for
eign countries they had. He was opposed to
the action taken on the fishery question by the
government Commercial intercourse was
farce. American fishermen, he said, did
not want the inshore fisheries of Canada All
they desired was the right to buy
bait and not be imposed upon. Reciprocity
is not an axiom of the American system of
government" said the speaker. "Reciproc-
ity treaties would impair our commerce"
Mr.. Maddocks the can vassing agent Of the
association, said the Canadians came to our
markets for bait, while American fishermen
are refused entrance for bait in Canadian
waters

Its State Central Committee Looking Over

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE Demo
cratic state Central committee met here
Wednesday with ten of thirteen members
and large number of politicians from all
sections of the state in attendance The va
cancy in the Second congressional district,
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Buskirk,
will be filed by the appointment of Mason
Niblack. The session was confined to re-
ports from all sections of the state regard
ing the condition of the party and the feel
ing toward the administration 1t
appeared that on each of these points
there was nothing of which the speakers
could complain. 1t was regarded as certain
that President Cles Gland would be renomin-
ated. The speakers agreed that whatever OPP
position existed in the early days of his ad-
ministration had disappeared as his conserv-
alive policy had become more developed.
A private canvass of the members of the
committee and visiting politicians developed
the fact that there was great unanimity
throughout the state as to Governor Gray's
nomination for the second place on the ma
tional ticket.
